Have now started giving my 4 month old daughter one bottle of formula a day. I'm using Aptamil this time round, but used SMA Gold with my son (now 4). I recall that the SMA used to really knock out my son into a deep sleep. Assumed this was down to 'heavyness' of formula against breastmilk which he was used to.
Interesting to me to see that Aptamil has no such effect on my daughter - it doesn't knock her out, behaviour much the same as after bf. Maybe just an issue of different baby, but I'm interested to know if anyone's had a similar experience.
Chatted to one mum who said Aptamil closer to breastmilk - but isn't that the bollocks that all manufacturers claim?
I guess I'm also trying to feel a bit better about giving the odd bottle of formula now that I'm back to work, which reduces pressure on me to pump huge amounts every day.
